Add the eggs to the creamed mixture and blend well.
Combine the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl. Combine the milk and whipping cream together, separate from the flour mixture.
Alternately, add the flour mixture and milk mixture to the creamed mixture and stir in by hand.
Puree fresh strawberries in a blender; add sugar to taste.
Add the vanilla and strawberry puree; beat with the mixer just until blended in.
Pour into the prepared cake pans, dividing evenly between the two.
Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick poked in the middle comes out clean.
Allow cakes to cool on a rack for 10 minutes in the pan. Then remove them and allow them to cool completely.

Add 2 tbsp. of cornstarch to a 1 cup measuring cup and the fill with all-purpose flour to make 1 cup of cake flour. Add 1 tbsp. of cornstarch to a 1/2 cup measuring cup and fill with all-purpose flour to make 1/2 cake flour. For 1/4 cup add 1/2 tbsp. of cornstarch and fill with flour.
